WELLBEING & WORK ENVIRONMENT 23-24
In 2023, we developed wellness and social activities across the team, reconfigured our working environment to support the health of our team and established both physical and mental health support in the business.
We treat everyone and their circumstances uniquely, providing staff with flexibility to meet the demands of work and life without additional stress.
See below our goals for 2023 and what we did as a team to work towards them...
Across 2023, we aimed to:
1) Establish an annual wellness programme
2) Create an environment which supports staff wellbeing
3) Develop team activities which supports social well-being
Across 2023, we:
- Re-configured our working environment to create spaces for flexible and collaborative work.

- Celebrated team success with social activities and team lunches, centred in the local Hope Valley.
- Held quarterly social event to reward the hard work and commitment of our team. We have also helped the team arrange impromptu activities which have promoted social connection.
